People do it with LLMs all the time now. Just tell machine to rewrite it in another language to wash away the license.

Given the state of Asahi right now I don’t think Apple would be interested. It’s enough for some enthusiasts willing to sacrifice some things but by the time Asahi approaches function and performance parity that hardware will be commercially irrelevant. What does this even achieve in the age of license laundering with LLMs?

AI bubble has shown that if you don’t have billions of dollars for lawyers, your IP will be copied and compressed into an LLM and you won’t be able to do anything about it, regardless of license. But at least Apple won’t be able to profit from Asahi team work and BSDs won’t be able to use drivers from Asahi. So much winning.

I’m going to try it on my ThinkPad X250 this weekend. I managed to install Gentoo with a handbook printout 25 years ago. This can’t be that much harder or am I in for a rough surprise?

Before I refreshed it there were 4 flagged commits, all from September 1st. Since then there was one new LLM-assisted commit so it looks like the rate is decreasing.

Do those two commits count as “increasingly”?

Most of the software in use is feature-complete and the remaining worry is if it’s bug-free. Increasingly, the apps created with LLM assurance beg the question “who asked for this”.
